I've made this recipe before and it is delicious! A perfect breakfast, tea, snack, brunch, dessert, 3:00 pm, midnight and TV snack. Yes, a friend indeed.

The center swirl is a delicious combo of instant espresso powder, sugar, cinnamon and chocolate. I know some people don't care of the flavor combo of cinnamon and chocolate, but I love it. I put in 3/4 of the batter, the swirl, then the remaining 1/4 batter.

Just popped in from Mary Anne's (Meet Me in the Kitchen) I'm with you, I love the marriage of cinnamon and chocolate. I wouldn't mind nibbling one of those Cinnamon Squares right now along side my coffee. Thanks for sharing...

OMG.... these look fantastic, totally drool-worthy. I could devour several at this very moment. Unfortunately, my DC can't stand anything coffee-flavored. Maybe I could leave that out and subsititute something else? Gorgeous job! :) K

Woahhh... what a nice ganache! Glistening under the light! ...oh! and I just love your teethmarks! LOL LOL I know it's kinda strange to get compliments on teethmarks... LOL but I dunno there's something about the fact that we rarely see them and goodness knows how many food blogs we go through!
